Overall, my stay at the resort was a mixed experience. The location is stunning, right by a beautiful beach, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. However, I found the dining options underwhelming, especially for an all-inclusive package. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, dining was not up to par, and there were additional costs that I didn’t expect. I may consider returning, but I would hope for improvements in the dining area.

My stay at the resort was unforgettable, with a stunning beach and crystal-clear waters that were straight out of a postcard. The bungalows provided privacy while still being close to all the amenities. The dining options were decent, though a bit repetitive, but the beautiful surrounding made up for it. The only downside was the communication from staff could use improvement, but overall, I felt well taken care of during my stay.

Staying at the Royal Island Resort & Spa was truly a dream come true for our honeymoon. The entire experience was just amazing with beautiful, clean accommodations and a team of staff who went above and beyond. The food was diverse and delicious, though the dining options could have had more variety at times. I'm grateful for the lovely surprise we received as part of our honeymoon package. However, the beach villas felt a bit older, though spacious and comfortable. Overall, it was a great value for a delightful stay.
